Changes in titles

Yesterday I signed an agreement to be an adjunct Professor of or at Curtin University, today that changed to accepting the title of Emeritus Professor. Hard to keep up! The requirement is:

has demonstrated distinguished service and commitment to the University over a period of normally five years of continuous service prior to retirement.

So I am not retired, just ‘retired’ from Curtin University. I will now look for employment at an organization interested in digital-based learning, digital heritage, serious games, virtual tourism. I was told these are not strategic areas for Curtin but I am sure they are growth areas for others.

And it gets confusing, I am an honorary research fellow at UWA and honorary research professor at ANU. So probably I’ll just go by my given name for most things. I’m not old enough or rich enough to be retired!
